Uli Hoeneß has not given up the hopes for a successful football season of FC Bayern Munich yet. "It has come to a close alliance between team and coach," said the President in the evening at the annual general meeting of the German record champion after many talks last week. "We can hope that this season will be a very good one," said Hoeneß.

He confessed to Niko Kovac, who is a "very, very good young coach", "deserves a chance" and "we should all give our full support". For the upcoming season, the 66-year-old announced investment "in a larger style" in the team.

Hoeness confirmed in a very defensive speech by his press reports, according to which the board deals with the personality Oliver Kahn as a possible sporting director. He is also acting for the successor to CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: "Oliver Kahn is part of our considerations," he said. However, this is not a question "of today or tomorrow".

At the controversial press conference, in which he and CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge had sharply attacked the media, Hoeness said: "The way this press conference has expired is certainly in need of improvement, and if we do something like this again we may become even better discuss and have a better day shape. " There was applause for that. However, the president recovers the greatest applause when he remembers his predecessor Jupp Heynckes.
